How to work it out

  1. Difference: 54 − 94 = -40
  2. Divide by the starting value: -40 ÷ 94 = -0.425532
  3. Multiply by 100: -42.5532%
  4. Check: Work forwards from the start: 94 × (1 − 0.425532) = 94 × 0.574468 = 54.

In a spreadsheet: =(54-94)/94*100. Always divide by the starting value, not the new one. A rise from 40 to 50 is +25%, but the fall from 50 back to 40 is −20%.

What the result means

The new value is 57.4468% of the old one: for every 100 at the start there are now 57.4468, so 42.5532 out of every 100 have gone.

Sales: a price cut from $94 to $54 is a 42.5532% discount.

Why the change back is different

A 42.5532% fall followed by a 42.5532% rise does not bring you back to 94: it gives 76.9787. The second percentage is taken of 54, not of 94, so to undo this change you need 74.0741% instead.
